[QUOTE="Jena, post: 217056, member: 4514"] t - I have the same exact thoughts all too often. I often look at easy child and say well she'd survive anything, she's like me. Than I look at difficult child and say wow, what a difference and their both mine! I get scared, confused, I try not to think of the future as of late. I really don't. I do the best I possibly can to stay focused on the present, it isnt' always easy. My ex husband does not realize what difficult child has, or rather he doesn't want to see it. He's been in denial since the day she was born. He stays and remains in denial. So, I often have no one to talk to about this, until a year ago finding this place. My family doesnt' get it either. They think difficult child makes a "choice" to be the way she is. My mother is very old school, and doesn't buy any of the diagnosis's. Do you want to know what the topic of conversation was on thanskgiving?? Wanna hear about disturbing family get togethers? My Mom once she had a few glasses of wine in her began talking about holidays past, my aunt, and my aunt's daughter with whom passed away at the age of 2 1/2 suddenly and without any medical problem. My daughter sat there in total and complete awe, asked tons of questions got upset, said how can that just happen to someone? so, my cousin's dead now?? I just sat there wishing I hadn't argued with anyone about where to go this year, and had just done what we were to do previously and had not taken the long 2 hour ride there. Than we returned to their house for cake and coffee to have them proceed to share stories of when their old house was haunted, strange happenings, etc. and then wait they broke out the dog's ashes. They had a great german shepard for years, he recently passed. Can you even imagine? Her head was spinning. She wouldn't go to the bathroom at my parents alone, no doubt!!! My mom just rolled her eyes and I said very bluntly well what do you expect after all the ridiculous conversations you have been having infront of her???? So, family hmmm....... friends are where it's at for me personally. men annoy and disappear, kids grow up or in our case grow up and maybe remain home, yet friends are always there. :) ok those are just my thoughts. lol [/QUOTE]
